Monkey Business

Written and Illustrated by Wallace Edwards  

Wallace Edwards, the award-winning author of Alphabeasts, has returned with a brilliant collection of illustrated idioms. From a fish opening a “can of worms” to a tap-dancing octopus putting his “best foot forward,” these familiar sayings are reimagined in hilarious and unexpected ways.

To help readers “stay on the ball,” the idioms are used in a sentence that accompanies each illustration, and the meaning of each idiom is explained at the end of the book. Every page is so richly illustrated that it is sometimes a challenge to find the hidden monkeys — some are more easily spotted than others!

A playful introduction to idioms, a clever eye-spy book and a gallery of stunning animal portraits, this collection is more fun than a barrel of monkeys!
